45 vs 30 Defence?

[Ummm]

I currently have a pure. I am just wondering what def to get for turmoil?

30 = lower combat, Prossy, Turmoil at low level.

45 = Zerker helm, Firecape, Fighters torso

So please help me decide!!

Thanks

Also please no posting saying "don't get defence" I am...

How about 40 for Barrow gloves, rune defender, vengeance, and torso? The extra combat level for 45 isn't worth the 7 damage (.7 damage in old Runescape).

40 outweighs 30 by a lot because you're missing out on a lot (mention above) for just two and a half combat levels.

OFC 45! The Firecape/torso/barrow gloves make up a heck load of str bonuses.

For 30, you'd have prossy not Ini. I'd stay get 40 like the guy who posted right after you suggested.

 

[roddyisawesome]

I say 45. Please haha. the zerker helm

45 for sure. Just do it right and have everything you should. Don't be a failure.

A few more CB levels is definitely worth 40 def.

 

I'd say get 35 defence. You achieve this by entirely questing it.

You get prossy, firecape, b gloves, turmoil, etc. Only 4 less strength bonus than a zerker (you won't PK in torso), but you save yourself 3.5 combat levels.

It really does help in the end, trust me. My vote goes for 35.

40/42 for reasons stated in above posts + void.

45 in member, 30 in f2p.

 

[Zero_Rush]

30 def is all you need

turmoil will handle the rest of the difference

 

[i3urnin_Up]

45 def is beast compared to 30

 

[Enrique2pe]

i say go with 40.

 

[Ummm]

Thanks everyone! A lot of replies =o. Seems like im leaning towards 40. 35 sounds good, but can you get that with turmoil? Including quests and stuff? Not sure really lol.

 

[Cor-GFX]

Lowest CB for turmoil is 28. You can try getting 30 and PK with that for a while to see how you like it then you can move up to 40 def. Don't get 45 as it's a waste.

 

[Absolution]

Neither 30 or 45 def is good UNLESS you have the ridiculous amount of time it takes to quest.
Bgloves take a ridiculously long amount of time (176qp) and so do the turmoil quest+rune gloves.

With questing being taken into account, 40 def is definately the best option. Opens up alot of gear and rune defenders/veng.

A decent turmoil pure/zerk takes months to actually complete so don't start unless you can finish.

 

[Ummm]

I have b gloves on my main, so I know how long it takes. I expect to be maxed in late 2011. So, yes don't worry I know how long it takes.

45
zerk - b gloves,torso etc..
30 - proselyte ,rune gloves n addy def
